What
is GrooveCamp? GrooveCamp
is an exciting nine-piece percussion ensemble from St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Mountain View, CA. We celebrate life, creativity,
and innovation through music.
Led by band leader Brian Crumrine, GrooveCamp composes and performs all original percussion music. "Our goal is to create interesting music that appeals to musicians and non-musicians alike utilizing only percussion intruments, dijiridu, and bass guitar. We draw on the rich traditions of Samba, African, and Hip-Hop and inject our own brand of contemporary rock, funk, and techno rhythms to achieve our own sound. You have never heard anything like it." GrooveCamp strives to make each performance very special. In the past we have included racing car axles, signposts, sewer grates, as well as pots and pans into our live shows. The inclusion of "found object instrumentation", encourages the listener to see the world anew and inspire them to make the most of their environment. As the band has evolved we have added dijiridu and electric bass to further expand our sound. Our unique style inspires people at a non-audible, pre-rational level. Drumming is visceral. It involves the body in ways that opens minds not only to the power of music, but also the power of self, community, and imagination. GrooveCamp members:
